Not much of that nose left unaltered. You did good!

Correct, the only things that are the same as when Norm put it on the car are the lip around the bottom front, the C6 headlight locations & mounting method & the side marker light locations.

But early on, a lot of people were not liking that nose & not seeing or believing that is was going to turn out good.

I was one of those, Archie. Not really a fan of Norm's front end. But you tapered the rear corners down into the doors more so it didn't look so far above and it looks great.

Uh-oh Archie! I think the nose might be lopsided! J/K It looks great, and I love the touch that those Camaro hood vents add to it.

Thanks HC. The photo-shops are beautiful, but for obvious reasons I can't go with orange (we don't want any over-lapping hehe). Strange that I never envision "white" as a option.

As for "red" #013, #004 are currently going that route, so I'm sticking to the Corvette that was featured in Luxury and Exotic.

I'm glad you like it. I'll be bye your place in a few weeks for your inaugural pictorial again (like #011). This time we hope nobody will try and use them on the Internet again, hehe. I also need to check in on Orville. I haven't talked to him in some time. Orville's ideas are wrapped up in #020, so I need to give credit.

I was just down there on Wednesday and Thursday of last week picking parts off of his parts cars to get Marie's car going for the Coast Run. He's a little under the weather after having a little accident but he is okay. Just a little sore. He's having a couple of issues with the red car that he will be getting ironed out after he is back on his feet.

Give me a call anytime. I look forward to going for a ride!

Well I must be different to the rest of the crowd because I love the look of the car from the front of the doors back but the front really isn't doing it for me. With the chop top and wedge shape the front is making the car look too front heavy. Like if it brakes heavily it will flip over. Each to his own they say.

Professionally, BonSpeed should have made you're order #1 since your order was placed way ahead of the SEMA show. It be a different story had you order right before SEMA. HRE will tell you that up front and not to expect any quick orders.

First off, I like to thank Archie for allowing me to give him a big three year headache in building my Fiero dream car. Archie believed in me and Archie followed through on all of my wishes....till the end. These guys finished my car at 12:13AM.

I would allow like to thank him for making the MadArch widebody kit for those who want something a bit different, but maintaining the Fiero's DNA.



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9ktAIqBN7g

I would also like to thank Kris for his excellent fiberglass skills and Rob's creative metal shaping skills. The Eclipse window is just one of his "skills" I'd appreciated.





I'll be back to his shop again, but this time it will be #015.

No need to "roll out" since the Mad-Arch widebody kit has been produced. I'll have mine tweaked a bit (cause you never bolt-on a part without first tweaking it) and then shipped out. Once the parts are bolted on, I'll roll-out to Archie for additional tweaking for #015. I have a few more tweaks that should look good (at least inside my head they look good), but that'll be next year since the weather isn't ideal traveling (Nov/Dec).


I've officially been "pimped."

Officially I don't know since we never weighed #020 prior to build-up, but I'm sure #020 weight is more now than it did prior to the build.

Was there a "horrendous gap" around the headlamp prior to #020 leaving Archie's?

He knows exactly what 86 is referring to.

As you can see in the pic you posted there is no gap in the headlamps prior to leaving Archie's shop. We talked before the pictures were even posted and i knew already.

Curly experienced a road mishap of sorts on the way home and that is the reason for the gap,..nothing that cannot be easily fixed.

Leaving TX:


The F360 ears casting their shadow on west I-40 towards NM.



The weak JVC (woops Kenwood, hehe) held me captive during my 3,000 mile exodus (I sure missed my XM radio). The radio has now been replaced.



Edit: radio name correction. Hey, Joseph I hope you like your car, hehe.

Okay, while at the stereo shop, I wanted a back-up color camera installed inside the soon-to-be defunked rear hatch lock. Although, I have pretty good visablity using the 350Z window the camera can aid in recording road trips.
